One of the questions that is often asked about D.C. fashion is: Why is there so much Ann Taylor?

The answer is simple enough — the hemlines are long enough, the styles are easy to wear, almost everything is machine washable, and it’s easy to find pieces for professional offices or casual ones. Plus, there’s a sale almost every weekend. And to help you find the best pieces on the AT Easter egg hunt, here are my top picks from the New Arrivals.

How gorgeous are these Mary Jane kitten heels?  So classic and sleek.  They come in black and tan.  Sizes run 5-12, with half sizes.  A great pump with a walkable, 2″ heel to keep your feet happy.

Summer is coming.  Even though I’ve had a winter cold since October, I am assured that sunshine is on the way.  And this striped shirtdress is the perfect thing for that spring/summer season.  It works with sneakers and a denim jacket.  It works with slides and big hoops.  Or just grab a cool belt and some flats.

I love the color of this longline, collarless suit.  It’s not navy.  It’s not a pastel.  It’s a sophisticated blue that works well with lighter colors or navy in summer and with black or dark grey in winter.  

This diaphanous blouse with a subtle floral print and a ruffle collar is sublime.  It looks great with high waist jeans and boots.  Layer it under a blazer to lighten the look.  Or just tuck it into an ivory pencil skirt for an outfit that can go from a baptism to a boardroom.  Sizes run XXS to XXL.

This black and white tweed blazer is selling out in every size.  Don’t wait.  Go get it.

This tweed dress is the perfect Monday Dress — throw it on when you’re busy and it looks great with no effort.  I love the button detail on the shoulders.  Also, the thick tweed is perfect with tights in cold weather  or with a colored flat in spring.  

These leather buckle slides are a fabulous option for summer.  They have an Hermes vibe to them.  A great, slightly dressy sandal.
